Ahhh, the tank... One of the oldest and most anger inducing zombies to exist today, if they had melees they'd shame those pesky Brutes in R2DA... This is why tanks are clearly superior imo. Tank for the win! |

Description[]
Tanks. As the name implies, tanks are devastating, big and tough. A Tank is a gargantuan grayish zombie that can create chaos in its path and throw pure concrete towards its victims, which can and will lead to Insta-kill if it hits a survivor. Since to its big body, the tank's shirt cannot be seen so it's considered "ripped-off" from the body mass, but the pants can be seen. They are muscular to pack a punch that deals loads of damage to survivors, and they are unstoppable if they are in a massive group of 3 or more. They are also a damage sponge, but all Tanks are scared of three things: The Minigun, the FAMAS and the RPG. The Tank is always considered as the Devastator class of the game.
